Sucks big time. I remember the episode where Bryan made it seem like his cancer had come back only to reveal his wife was pregnant.
I used to love the carolla podcast and Bald Bryan was huge part of that with his perfectly timed sound drops and his arguments with Adam. I pretty much stopped listening after Adam went solo.
RIP Bald Bryan

RIP Bald Bryan, you will be missed. His drops were great.

I'd had no idea you could survive it that long
Folk singer Steve Goodman ("City of New Orleans", "You never even called me by my name") battled it for 15 yrs. You gotta like a guy who learns he has leukemia, and immediately nicknames himself "Cool Hand Leuk"

I still listen to the podcast. That sucks dude was definitely a fighter. R.I.P

Think he was diagnosed in 2009.
Brainstem astrocytoma. Very lucky to make it 17 years. Apparently they were very good years until the last few months

He had many great years on Carolla and was truly instrumental in making it a daily delight.
For all of those pissed at Carolla for eventually parting ways with him (at least him being on the show), I will say that for a year or two, Bryan had almost entirely stopped doing "drops"...which he was truly a prodigy at and which made the show great.
There were a solid 5 years where I listened happily to him and his antics every single day on the drive to and from work. Really always seemed like one of the greatest guys in the world.
Really sad when I saw this on Saturday. Has Carolla himself posted yet? I know Lynette and many others have. In 2009, Carolla threw him a celebrity fundraiser.

Thanks for posting this.
My favorite thing about Bryan was how he would keep Adam honest with funny retorts.
Once, Adam said the whole school would walk around the halls singing “Ad Carolla” to the rhythm of “My Sharona”.
Bald callled Adam out and asked “was everyone in the school really doing this”. It was fun and lighthearted and made Adam laugh at himself.
Good times, great show. I listened a lot to their pod between 2010-2017!
Lots of laughs with them and Allison and her funny quips.

No. He did a show today with Mike and Chris dedicated to Bald

Does he still call chris maxipada? I dont feel like I have heard him call him that in a while
Posted on 9/20/26 at 11:22 pm to Cosmo
Chris hasn't been on the show in a while. Just Adam and Dawson I think.

Hate to hear it. I liked the show best when it was Adam, bald and Teresa strasser.
Listened to Bryan’s book shrinkage when it came out and it was really good. He was originally given 6 months to live and got 18 years. I call that a victory.
Guy was a wizard on the drops and that’s a very niche style of humor that requires quick wit and good memory.

This was from his wife on their go fund me

In loving memory of the best man we’ve ever known: Bryan Michael. Bishop September 13, 1978 - September 18, 2026 It is with the deepest sorrow, and also with profound love, that I share that Bryan passed away peacefully at Scripps La Jolla Hospital yesterday, September 18th at 6:18 PM. He was surrounded by his family and best friends.
Over these past days, I've received hundreds and hundreds of heartfelt notes — memories from friends, family, and so many fans of his show, The Film Vault, and of the Adam Carolla Show. Every single one was longer, more detailed, and more filled with unbelievable memories than the last. This man made an extraordinary impact on this world, and on every single person he came into contact with.
I will be forever indebted for having him in my life. He was my best friend, the love of my life, and the best dad in the world, and it gives me so much comfort to know how loved he is, all around the world. We are absolutely devastated and don't know what happens from here, but we can feel all of the love, and it is carrying us.
There are things we'll need in the days ahead, and I'll share more about that soon — but for now, I wanted everyone to know. I fought for him, advocated for him, raised my voice and defended him, and stayed with him every single minute I could. When I wasn't there, his loving mom was right by his side. When he couldn't talk anymore, I would just tell him I love him, over and over and over again, and boop his little nose. I knew he could hear me, because he would try to mouth it back to me. I did every single thing I could to try to make him better, to keep him with us as long as possible, and to make sure he was comfortable, loved, and surrounded by love and positivity until his very last breath. It was as peaceful, as beautiful, and as profound a day as I have ever experienced in my life.
I spent hours reading message after message to him, and while he was 99% unresponsive, there were specific moments — from letters written by some of his closest friends — where he moved, and showed us he was still there with us. When he passed, I was telling the story of how we met, and the room was full of such incredible energy and light. You just knew his spirit was soaring. He passed at the beginning of an absolutely stunning sunset in Southern California, and as his palliative care nurse said, he's now spread his wings to fly. I already look forward to meeting him there one day. I will miss you and love you for every single second that I remain on this earth. Fly fast, my love. Until we see you again. PS - Please give Charlie a snuggle for us.
